This is a side benefit of stress

reduction.  Stress can have
a serious negative impact on
your health.  If you can
reduce your stress, or the
stress of everyone in your
organization you'll enjoy
better health, less sick days,
and better productivity
 Improve customer relations
and improve sales
Customers would rather
deal with someone
positive. Research has
also shown that sales
professionals who think
positively and believe in
the benefits of their
product have much
better sales
performance.
Become a better leader
If you own a company or if you manage
people, those who report to you
usually get more from watching you
than they do listening to what you’re
saying. Be a good example of having
a positive attitude in the workplace.
Set goals and ask for people’s
support in achieving them. Take a
positive attitude approach to
achieving those goals and to
overcoming challenges. Your
attitude and enthusiasm will spread
throughout your workplace. A
positive attitude is just as infectious
as a negative one. Be careful about
which one you’re fostering
Improve teamwork

Teams are much more

effective when the
members are united in
overcoming challenges
and figuring out how they
can achieve their
objectives rather than
dwelling on all the
problems and obstacles
that stand in their way
Improve motivation for
yourself and others
If you have a positive attitude
about achieving goals and
success in general, you will be
much more motivated to take
action. If you look at what you
would like to accomplish and
you see only the obstacles,
your motivation diminishes
pretty quickly. Ask yourself
what might spur you to action.
• We can think of excuses for not always
acting with safety in mind, but in the end, it
make a lot more SENCE to have a good
safety attitude.
 Improve Interpersonal
Relations
People like positive people. They’re
automatically drawn to a pleasant and
upbeat demeanor. Your business and
personal relationships will definitely
improve when you employ a positive
attitude. There are also techniques
you can use to help improve other
people's reaction and attitude toward
you
Improve decision-making and
overcome challenges
See challenges as
opportunities to grow and
become better. When
you’re making a business
decision, you can use this
same approach and your
options will really open up.
